The living world came first.
The work followed.

The question

How can humans thrive without destroying the living systems our future depends on?

Origin

Some people inherit businesses. Some inherit money. I inherited a question.

I grew up close to nature and close to environmental action. My father, Kurt Oddekalv, spent his life fighting environmental destruction.

Losing him did not hand me a mission. It made me decide what responsibility would look like in my own language.

Field / witness

The world is not a backdrop.

Photography became one way of paying attention. Field work became another.
